Weston baptised 15 persons in St. James Church, Lenoir, of whom five were adults and 10 children. He also baptised on the same day five persons at a private house. The many friends of Cen. and Mrs. Collett Leventhrop . will be glad to know that they returned to Caldwell Saturday. We learn that they intend making Lenoir their permanent home, boarding at Davenport. Mrs. Milly Bryant, spoken of last week as never having seen a rail road train, has never been inside the corporate, limits of Lenoir. though she now lives within a quarter of a mile of them and has for years lived no further than a mile away. She is a stay-at-home body. Jacob Wilson says that his find beats Thompson's treasnre-trove of silver.

In Lincoln county there are 13 soldiers and 16 widows, a total of 20, a list of which we published last week. The residence of Col. D. A. Lowe, at Lowesville, had a narrow escape from being burned down some days ago. The early discovery, timely assistance and hard work saved it.

Halliburton & Burgen have largely increased their working toree and will finish their contract this month. Forest City is in luck again.

Washington, April 23, 1886. Such distinguished witnesses on the stand as ih Attorney General, Jay Gould and Grand Master Work min Powdurly, the first in connection wilh the Pan Electric, and the tvo latter with the strike investigation, have m.ide thest proceedings particu larly imeiestin jr. The announcement that Mr. Gar land would testify before the Teles phonie committee of inquiry, drew an unusually large crowd to iho crypt like room away down under the Capi tol. He made his appearance looking pale and feeble from his recent sick ness, and after a courteous salute to the oomiuitte's dropped into the wit ness chair, in his careless languid way, and proceeded to give a clear, simple and unreserved statement of the Telephone affair. He had noth ing to conceal and was anxious to tell all he knew. He paid the Pan Elec tric scheme was simply. n organiza tion of several impecunious gentle men who wanted o better their con dition. He was willing to go into it if it offered any inducements. Attorney General Gtrhtud in the course of his statement, told the com mittee that, he had never, in any way, used his official position to advance the interest of the Pan Hlectric Tele phone company, that he would as soon thought of jumping into the Potomac with a mill stone about his neck as to have done so. He had never made a penny out of Pan Elec tricity, but on the contrary, was $400 out on that account, and he de clared positively that he had no com. nectiou whatever with the bringing of the Govt, suit, and that his stock was not n gift. During- the examination of Mr. flumnhrevs, who is counsel f r the Globe telephone company, and in uoHtics an Ohio Republican, this 4 gentleman stated that Mr Garland positively refused to talk to turn on the sujeci oi instituting a Govern ment suit, "lie convinced me," said the witness, 'that he was iooorrnpti ble." "Did you try to corrupt him?" inquired Congressman Itanney of Mass. 'I did not", responded the witness, "but I may have had a a t suspicion regarairg the rerorm pre tensions of the Demscratic A.dmini tration. "lou think better of it f I . j T now?" asked hairman Boyle. 'I louiid thai soino Democrats are honest" replied Mr. Humph: ey, "and I think if two honest men live, they arc Mr. Garland " and Secretary Lamar." 9 The room in which the stnke in vtstigation is being conducted was so overcrowded during the examination of Mr. Powderly and others, that only members of Congress and news pper correspondents were admitted during the examination of the great rail road magnate. Jay Gould. Mr. Powderly was very much gazed at, and does not look in the le-ist like a son of toil. He is refined and deli-i cate looking, and wears a long mous tacne ana spectacles. When asked to tell the whole of the strikehe replied that he preferred to answer specific questions. Dunns the cause of his examination he said that the labor organization was per fectly peaceful. Sometimes its own members misunderstood the organi zation. It was sometimes impossible to control a man by any law when hr had been wronged. One point Mr. wderly said he wanted peifectly understood. It wa3 that if any of the Knights had violated the law. the oiganization would help to pun Mi them. The law of the land was supreme abovo the laws of organiza tions, lie became unpassoned on i his pubject and declared that all vio laiors, whether Knights ot Labor or Japitalist, should ho punished. The millionare violator should suffer the same as the poor man. "I have made this statement before", said Mr. Powderly, "and people have seen fit to ste in it an inviution to anarchy, i If that is anarchy, in the name of God, what is law "t It is an open question whether the Senate or the House has been mor commendabiy employed this wesk. The latter has not done much at any thing, and the Senate has done little hut vote away the people's money. On one day it passed between four and five hundred private pension bills. This is the largest number of bills ever passed in one day by eith er house of Congress since the estab lishment of the Government. Tho first thing the Senate did this week was to vote 200,000 for tho erection of a tire proof hall of records in this city, and Senator Hoar provoked a Senatorial laugh by asking if the proposed building "was for the keep-1 ing of tho Presidents private pa pers v Have a Home. There are a multitude avery year who are commencing home life. With hands and hearts linked to gether, they enter upon their new stage of existence. To such the voice of experience says, have a home. Do not hang about hotels and boarding-houses; keep house if thero is only one room in it, pro vided there is wit enough in the firm to do it. It is a wretched pol icy to live a nomadie, boarding house life in trunks and band box- es, in the midst of idleness and flirtation, and finally, after years of wretchedness, have a divorce 8iiit, pack two trunks, and then go different ways to the end of the earth. Let their be a home, where household treasures can be gath ered, household pleasure enjoyed, the comforts ' and conveniences of life preserved, and where God can give prosperity, ana iruiauiness, and peace, and gladness. Let the home be not a godless home ; let it be a,place of prayer or worship, of praise." Let there be chiiM'h in the housc and the Lord who loves "the tents of Jacob" will deign to bless the abodes of His people, and crown them with His grace, His mercy, and His peace. From such homes go forth men strong to tight the battle of life, women wise and gentle for all gra cious ministries, and children that are like corner-stones, polished af terthe similitude of a palace.

Charlotte Observer: For the ben eht ot the niiumir men ot tins sec tion of the country, we make the statement that tho Charlotte assay office has lately been vested with authority from the Government to makiuff assays of cold ores for all parties desiring such work.
